한·중 디지털 무역량 결정요인에 대한 실증분석

Analyzing Factors Affecting Digital Trade between Korea and China: An Empirical Study

이 논문에서는 한국과 중국 간 디지털 무역에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 연구하고자 하였다. 양국의 디지털 교역량과 수출관세, 지적재산 사용료 등 자료를 갖고 실증분석을 하였다. 실증결과 수출관세, 지적재산 등 요인들이 한중 디지털 무역에 큰 영향을 준 것으로 확인하였으며, 한국에서는 수출관세가 디지털 교역에 부정적인 영향을 주었으나, 지적재산, 상표사용료와 서비스 교역에는 긍정적 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 중국은 환율, R&D 비용 비율 및 지적재산 사용료가 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났으며, 결국 디지털 무역의 규제와 통제를 완화하고 강력한 지적재산 보호 체계를 구축하는 정책이 필요하다는 것이 확인되었다. 향후 중국은 디지털 무역에 대한 규제와 통제를 완화하는 정책이 중요하며, 더욱이 지적재산 보호 시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다.

Digital trade is a new type of trade, and its scale is increasing significantly, but it is a research field that requires internationally unified rule making. Therefore, in this paper, the factors affecting digital trade between Korea and China. Digital trade is an increasingly important area of commerce, and international cooperation is needed to establish unified regulations. To better understand the factors influencing digital trade between Korea and China, this study analyzed several independent variables, including export tariffs, intellectual property usage fees, exchange rates, R&D cost ratio, service trade export ratio, and ICT service export ratio, and their impact on digital trade exports. The empirical analysis revealed that export factors related to export duties, intellectual property usage fees, and services were significant for digital trade exports in Korea. Specifically, export tariffs had a negative impact on digital exports, while intellectual property royalties and service trade exports had a positive impact on digital exports. In the case of China, the exchange rate, R&D cost ratio, and intellectual property usage fee were found to have a significant effect on digital trade exports. The implication of these findings is that China may need to ease regulations and reduce strict controls on digital trade, while also developing a robust intellectual property protection system to support this growing sector. Overall, this study highlights the need for international cooperation and collaboration to establish rules and regulations that support the growth and development of digital trade in a global economy.
